Cluster Configuration

Learn how to configure Secrets and HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler).
The Configuration section in Container Cluster Management provides a centralized dashboard to view and manage configurations such as ConfigMaps, Secrets and the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA). It offers detailed insights, easy access and direct management capabilities to help you control your cluster configurations.
To view cluster configuration data, follow these steps:
  1. Authenticate in the CCM application using your credentials to securely access the management dashboard.
  2. After signing in, access the CCM main dashboard. This is the central hub for all Container Cluster Management activities.
  3. In the dashboard, locate the
    Cluster table
    , located at the bottom of the interface. This table lists all the clusters available under your management.
  4. Select the desired cluster in the
    Cluster table
     to open its detailed view.
  5. Within the cluster details view, open the
    Cluster configuration
     tab. Here, you can view and manage Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, and Storage Classes for the selected cluster.

ConfigMap

  • Overview:
     This section provides an overview of available ConfigMaps across namespaces, making it easy to locate namespace-specific ConfigMaps.
  • List view
    : This table lists all registered ConfigMaps. To view more details about a specific ConfigMap, select the vertical ellipsis to open the overflow menu. The following options are available:
